PG Thread (Philly) - The Process Owns The Future

[Ron Swanson]

Weird, I really don't see the big deal with what he said. Even if he meant it, who cares? Let the kid have his moment.

Now if he's still doing the whole internet trolling/jawing at other teams and cities 2-3 years from now as his team struggles to stay out of the lottery? Then yeah, people will rightfully be sick of it and call him a dumbass.

So if his team is good he can rip on cities? F Lebron or Durant if they do that. For sure f embiid

Apparently you do want to discuss this on another team's board. I understand being on pace for a 26-56 record is exciting but drop the "aw shucks" concern trolling shtick.

I can attest to CoreyGallagher being pure class. He is definitely one of the best posters on the Sixers board. He by no means came to the Bucks forum to troll, but to try and prevent Embiid's stupid post from pissing you guys off even more. I don't think Embiid's intention was to talk sht about milwaukee but rather Henson, judging by all the other Instagram posts. Embiid is immature, but he's not the type of person to disrespect an entire city. But it does seem it came off that way

Maybe it's an Africa thing (I'm going to Tanzania in a couple weeks so maybe I'll ask) or a Philly thing, but in Milwaukee I have never heard a person ever call another person a s$& hole

bbqchicken was kinda funny (location in the whiteside insta photo), but all the other ones are head scratchers, once he starts using profanity, thats when the organization needs to step in and take away his social media. 22 years old, and just lacks maturity, he's stupid for this stuff. Definitely should know better, but it seems like the internet keeps building him up and now its gotten into his head it seems. When he got into that spat with the pornstar, i knew he was gonna get in trouble sooner or later.

[CoreyGallagher]

You thought your post explained away Embiid's low blow, and when I pointed out the false equivalence you basically shifted to a polite version of "u mad bro?" That's trolling.

The original post explained what he (the poster) assumed the locations meant, Embiid could have been referring to anything by them, it's interpretive. What players or refs is he referring to as 'Dicktown' at the practice facility in New Jersey? I said you can hate him for whatever reasons you want to because you called him a classless douche and I think the reason for calling him it is petty.

Will that help you admit that you're being disingenuous and fishing for a negative reaction?

Wasn't my intention.

[DanoMac]

Embiid looked the part, guy is massive. With that said, I have a difficult time seeing him stay healthy with that size

Not only that, but wasn't he on the block last season because of stupid **** he was doing while rehabbing? Fantastic player, no doubt, but he's a personality that's gonna bolt for a big market at first chance.

[Zeezprah]

lol i don't think embiid meant the entire city. his posts almost always contain satire and lately have all had similar locations.

he probably just meant the bradley center because he's an opposing player, don't overthink it.

[chonestown]

Assuming ****** = Riverlakecity

[Pachinko_]

He's got a weird sense of humour thats for sure

My fav Embiid moment was when someone asked him his shoe size, Embiid told him whatever huge number, and then he turns to the camera and says really slowly "its biiiiig". And then he just keeps staring at the camera in silence and nodding slowly for 5 awkward seconds, pretty much letting everybody know he could be talking (or was really talking) about his dick

Anyway screw him, can we go back to figuring out wtf is wrong with our team?

[M-C-G]

So I know dropping some of the games we have recently is part of the development curve but damn it's amazing how as soon as you start to believe we have soul crushing losses. Whoever made the comment about the gravitational pull for this franchise to the .500 mark was spot on.

Way too early to panic but the collective Delly, Telly, Plumlee, Henson impact given their pay is mind boggling. I think Telly and Delly will find their way and help us click but that is a lot of money for very little impact.

I really thought we had turned a corner before the ATL game, our Dec-early Jan stretch looked pretty decent.

[Prez]

It's not that big a deal lol. Embiid is always clowning someone or something. Pretty sure the dude got into it with a pornstar the other day. Dude is the biggest troll in the NBA.

The problem is you , you always see the bright side and when the reality comes you are in shock.
You are **** Greek and you know how important coach job is,how important defence is but still...wtf man ,why are you expecting something different?
Tell me is Kidd a good coach in your eyes?
Name me 3 good defenders.
Name me 3 good shooters.
Tell me who your PG and C are and i tell you what kind of team you are..

You know i'm joking but not entirely

[Triple 7]

ITT: Again, people feeling insecure about their city and taking the slightest excuse of a slam personally

[freewhitemoon]

defense has been **** the whole time. We'll be in the bottom 10 after another 5 games at this rate

[old skool]

From the best defensive team on opp 3p% ... to last year's dead last on perimeter defense and 3pm !!!

It all started go wrong with the Monroe signing, if only we had signed Koufos and Ajinca in 2015 FA ...
No Plumlee's , No Monroe's tons of cap space ...

[Nowak008]

Mirza was especially worthless today. Was a huge fan of the signing initially, but man, I'd look to package him and Henson to clear a good $20 mil in cap room over the next 3 years at this point.

As I get into my usual twitter discussions over Hammond, there really is a key question as to how you grade a GM on his moves.

Still a year too early to judge things (have to see where Thon is one year from now), but does Brogdon outweigh spending $120 million and jamming up the cap with two guys who right now aren't doing very well and one $52 million dollar pile of bills on fire?

In a vacuum, I'd say yes, drafting Brogs outweighs 3 bad contracts. Getting a top 20 PG with the 36th pick is a home run. In the offseason, if you would have given me the option to add a PG of Brogdon's caliber for 20 mil a year, I would have said yes.

The problem is with Hammond it's tough to envision a plan where he gets out of the mess he created, and if he does get out of the mess, he will immediately make 4-5 more stupid moves.

If you, look at his record, he has close to 100 transactions as GM. Granted a lot of them are small, but out all of his moves he really has only 3 really good moves. Giannis, Brogdon, Mid trade.

It is me.
I am problematic, I just can't start my day with tactical pessimism just in case the Bucks let me down again

Kidd is a **** coach but to be perfectly honest most NBA coaches and typical NBA game strategy look **** to me so I can't really tell if his suckiness actually makes a difference. I'm not the best person to judge, I'm used to Euro dictator type coaches with 100% control of their team, anything less looks weak to me.

[VooDoo7]

Reminds me a bit of a young Dwight personality wise. Funny, but obvious the guy can't be the leader on a top team even though he thinks of himself as one.

Dwight couldn't be a leader because he was a cry baby bitch.

True story.

[bebopdeluxe]

Now point out the other ones where he insults entire other cities, we'll wait.

I thought that's what I just did.

Sacramento, bull land.
Minnesota and New Jersey (our practice facility), dicktown.
Philly, **** city.

Don't be disingenuous. There's a difference between insulting refs or other players and calling an opposing city a "****." It's not like these other posts paint him as a mature, classy individual either, but I hope you're just pretending to be stupid.

Seriously, guys...you need to chill.

I know that you are frustrated with the game, but I don't think that Embiid was ripping your town. To be honest, I read it as he was sending it while taking a postgame dump.

Whatever. See you in 9 days.
